MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – Newly acquired Anthony Rizzo homered, singled, and walked in his debut with the New York Yankees, who beat the Miami Marlins 3-1 on Friday night.
A day after being obtained from the Chicago Cubs in a trade, Rizzo snapped a 14-inning scoreless drought for the Yankees with his solo shot in the sixth inning for the game’s first run. Rizzo drove Zach Thompson’s 1-0 cutter into the upper deck in right-center for his 15th homer of the season and a 1-0 lead.
